Wi-Fi Network Operator Completely Blocks P2P Use


I'm staying at the Colonnade Hotel in Boston and got this interesting message when I signed in to the hotel's WiFi network, run by Pronto Networks.

PLEASE NOTE: Any PC found to be doing P2P type file sharing activity (Kazaa, eDonkey, LimeWire, Blubster, Piolet, etc.), will be blocked from using the internet from this location due to the fact that this activity severely limits the ability to access the internet by other guests in the hotel.

In addition to running a variety of privately-run hotspots, Pronto also partners with cities in operating municipal Wi-Fi networks.
